Hidden Places Poptropica

Minsk. Part 1 (first day)

month ago I arrived at the glorious hero city of Minsk. This is my first trip to Minsk. Before that I was in Belarus only once, and then - from the Polish border to train at Brest.

Impressions - weight, car and small truck another car:) I hoped somehow to digest and does not overwhelm Learn photographs with shouting, but nifiga)) Photos will be much smaller exclamations:)
Break photos in Smolensk, I will not, because it's impossible. So there will be day by day.


So, first day . First impressions


visual and sensory level - Minsk - the living embodiment of the mythical Scoop, if not plunge deeper, of course ...

When I came to Smolensk as more great Russian city, which I strongly promoted with the best sides; then to Minsk, I was riding with a negative attitude muddy, noisy information field of the Belarusian opposition and human rights news from Minsk. And got a very interesting - I was very disappointed in Smolensk and did not justify excessive promises, and Minsk, by contrast, was pleasantly surprised:) licked clean tidy city. It is clear that not all so simple and rosy, cheerful, light and naive. But I tried hard not to pay attention to it, shut off the brain and tried to relax.

Now photography. Comments only to some. The first day - the first blind greedy gulp. With the card, but the touch ... I know nothing, just go and heed)


With the weather we were not very lucky. All 5 days above 16 degrees temperature did not rise ... Sometimes, the sun came out, sometimes pouring rain, mostly it was overcast, but dry:) It even seemed that the weather is something like Peter, where rapidly changing weather elements.






Plane traffic lights))

and solid Albany))) First watch my head spin was:)





In the city a great variety of monuments and sculptures, once again on Peter seem


About littered the horizon just not necessary, OWL)


Janitors, sotrudnki utilities, drivers of all public transport - all local. 5 days less than a dozen Tajiks, etc. I saw ...




Beautiful lattice (the same type, though I'm across the city met this figure), and light poles are not in the ugly plastic ...)






Minsk - the city of big empty space. As was later explained to the local - if the area would meet a group of more than two people, and pravoohranitelnymorganam Something like it, they folded and taken away ...








traffic jams in the city there, the road is almost empty. Condition of roads in the 4 +. For the people - baggy sidewalks! A paving slab laid all areas, sidewalks and paths, even in the suburbs)
very long avenue of Independence (Independence Square), with an impressive part of Stalin's empire. At some point I began to tire of it ... But then in the distance I saw something interesting, surged ahead and was not mistaken:)
















This is not just a couple!)) I do not know, maybe I'm so lucky, but I have several times Minsk saw like this:) - mp sitting The girls on their knees.






saw - climbed:) The next day an excursion was told that if you climbed up, then would return to Minsk :)








favorite place. At the heart of the city on the main street on the first floor of a large "Soviet" supermarket can be safely cute and nice meal PIROZHENKO, buterbrodikom, tea / Kofu, finally, to drink beer and varnish Morozhenko. Majestic pathos clearance metro Kiev Empire style chandeliers and views of the city is attached. By the way, I somehow had not noticed that people in the city is open and bawdy drinking beer ... Maybe I idealize or simply not noticed ... and maybe the culture of consumption increase ...


KX-ki-ki))) worth Masha blamed on dense seminar, as the weather improved, the clouds parted, and I'm wonderfully alone spent a few hours:)





























Again, no I know ... Maybe I'm so lucky - but still encountered beds were so ...
